From: "Dr. Ed  Metcalf" 
 
REMEMBER WHEN...

  A computer was something on t.v.
  from a science fiction show of note
  A window was something you hated to clean
  and ram was the cousin of a goat

  Meg was the name of my girlfriend
  and gig was a job for the nights
  now they all mean different things
  and that really mega bytes

  An application was for employment
  A program was a t.v. show
  A cursor used profanity
  A keyboard was a piano

  Compress was something you did to the garbage
  Not something you did to a file
  And if you unzipped anything in public
  you'd be in jail for awhile

  Log on was adding wood to the fire
  Hard drive was a long trip on the road
  A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
  And a backup happened in your commode

  Cut you did with a pocket knife
  Paste you did with glue
  A web site was a spider's home
  and a virus was the flu

  I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
  And the memory in my head
  I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
  But when it happens they'll wish they were dead!
